What this is all about…
OK, I’m not quite 40 yet…still a good 8 months to go.
I’m a music junkie, majored in Music Business at N.Y.U. and have a Bachelor of Music. Although, I haven’t worked in the business pushing “product” for a few years now. The major labels are putting out mostly crap at this point. I’m now working in Interactive Marketing (like many former music biz people). I was the writer/editor for my college ‘zine, amongst others, and wrote for a free weekly in NY. I’m trying really hard to stay on top of the latest bands and culture.
That’s why I started this blog. It’s getting harder to stay current and keep up with good new music. I also like to keep up with my favorites from the previous decade. The early 90s had a lot going on!
I’ll probably be posting about new stuff mixed with memories of past shows and experiences. I have lots of info to share and hope that others will post as well. We’re just in our 40’s, better than the alternative, right?
We’ll see how it goes…

Hi,
Like yourself, I’ll be hitting the magic 4-0 in about 7 months. I caught your blog link in my gmail alert for Sirius Left of Center.
I first got in on the LoC during a stint in the Alberta oil patch. I’ve been a music fan for most of my life but I couldn’t believe how much wider my eyes could be opened by listening to LoC.
I loved it so much that I started a Facebook group.
If you’re not a member already, maybe you should check it out.
We have about 950 members and we seem to get about 30 more every time they mention it on air.
Participation can be a bit weak but it can also be interesting to see how listeners feel about what is being played on the station.
Dig The Blog,
Chris
